Galapagos Species Database

Taxon category: Accepted

Syn.: Hipponix foliacea Quoy & Gaimard, 1835 fide Appeltans et al. (2013); Finet (2001): Mentioned by Kay (1991) on the basis of CDRS material; however, I was unable to trace this material in the collections of the CDRS in 1993; the record was repeated by Skoglund (1992) and by Emerson (1994), and might also be referable to Hipponix antiquatus panamensis C.B. Adams, 1852. The question was also discussed in Finet (1994).

Origin: Native

Distribution: (H. antiquatus panamensis) Eastern Pacific from south of California to Peru and Galapagos Islands (Hickman & Finet, 1999).
